College Lifestyle: What to Store?

You have better things to do with your time then to spend it organizing closets. Going through your dorm or apartment once a semester and deciding what to do with your stuff can help you stay organized during the year.
That’s important—because when you have more living space, you’re happier. It’s also faster and easier to keep things clean when you don’t have a lot of clutter in your way. But here’s what’s even better: at the end of the school year, when you are ready to move to your next destination, you’ll find that it is much easier to pack up and move to your next place when you’ve used your storage appropriately. So find a good day once a semester and commit to sorting through your stuff. You’ll thank yourself for it all year long.
Once you decide to rent a unit, it is time to figure out what to put in it. To get started, ask yourself the following questions:

Storage facilities in university towns book up quickly before summer. Plan to reserve your unit well in advance.

Call around. In order to calculate cost accurately, you need more than a cost estimate; you need details. Will the facility prorate your deposit? Can you get a discount for paying in advance? What happens to your stuff if you miss your payments? Do they have student or short-term discounts that you can qualify for? Take a look at our Student Storage Overview for more advice on questions to ask your storage company.
